Volume 6 The Race for the Deer Chapter 58 Logistical Worries

The smoke and dust are great, and the rolling iron stream goes all the way north, like a black dragon, and the rumbling hooves are more like the waves of the reef and the angry thunder shaking the sky, showing an indomitable momentum. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Nanying Lema stood proudly on the side of the road, watching the rapid advance of 17,000 elite subordinates, and the loud report of the intelligence officer kept ringing in his ears:

"Report to the general, the front of our army has broken through into the territory of Zhuo County for thirty miles!"

"Encountering enemy cavalry scouts, our hunting team is encircling and suppressing!"

"The enemy scout squad has been completely wiped out, and the enemy's main force is still ignorant of the blitzkrieg of our army!"

"General Gao Shun Feiying passed the book, and the main battle with the Yuan army has won a complete victory, killing seven thousand enemies, and the losses of our army are negligible!"

"Good! Big brother played beautifully! Nanying couldn't help but praise loudly: "Yan Liang, how can that guy be the opponent of the eldest brother?" ā€

"Report to the general, the vanguard army has found a team of foreign merchants, transporting all the materials from Gongsun Zhan's side! Please, the general decides! ā€

"What?" Nan Ying frowned, and then relaxed: "Good thing! happened to make a profit first, what else was polite to him? ā€

"But the leader of the caravan claims to be your friend, and the vanguard army does not dare to act rashly!"

"The alien merchant is a friend of the general?" Nan Ying was stunned, and suddenly reacted: "Don't be that Aquix, right?" ā€

"Not that name!" The intelligence officer scratched his head and tried to remember: "He speaks a good Chinese language, and he doesn't call him anything.......

"It's Pulcher. Emily. Levi, right? Nan Ying was stunned, and immediately recalled that this Roman had been a great help, and without the volcanic ash binder he taught, it would be impossible for the entire Bohai Sea to form a transportation network of this scale.

"He's not lying, and he's a friend!" Nanying groaned, and suddenly a thought came to his mind: "Set up a tent in front immediately, and I will meet him!" ā€

"General!" The intelligence officer was stunned: "The whole army is marching in a hurry......."

"Pass the order! The whole army rests for an hour! Nanying waved his hand.

"The soldiers are fast!" The intelligence officer was also upright, and he was still bitter: "Since we want to take Zhuo County in one fell swoop, how can we stop when the soldiers are approaching the city?" What to do if the message is leaked? ā€

"The general's order has also dared to be discounted!" Nan Ying's eyes narrowed: "Execute the order....... the rest, find a way to go yourself!" ā€

"Yes, General!" I have to say that the quality of the officers of the Bohai Navy is indeed incomparable, and the intelligence officer simply turned around on the spot and roared loudly:

"The whole hunting team is dispatched to eliminate all suspicious people, etc.!"

"The women's squad set off to find a hiding place for the army!"

"Listen to the wind team's make-up operation and investigate the surrounding situation!"

"Where's the logistics officer? Prepare a tent for the general now! ā€

"Quick, all move!"

Just as he was screaming hoarsely, the general's slightly satisfied voice came from behind him: "It's a little interesting!" Ben will consider your promotion ......."

"Last time, I said I was going to be promoted....... "The intelligence officer muttered dissatisfiedly, "Talking doesn't count.......

Hearing the general's cold snort, he immediately regained his solemnity, put his feet together, and turned back again: "Thank you for the general's trust!" ā€

Before the big tent was set up, and before Pulcher arrived, Nanying unexpectedly ushered in two subordinates who had not seen each other for a long time....... Ma Jun and the trial.

"The general is well!" Ma Jun's face was proud: "The last general cooperated with Sun Ce to implement the plan to capture Jiangdong, and in less than two months, he had already taken five cities in a row, and successively defeated Liu Xuan, Wang Lang and other soldiers and horses, especially in the battle of Niuzhu Battalion, we captured a large number of food and weapons and war equipment, and our strength increased greatly." At present, Sun Ce is launching an offensive against Yan Baihu of Wu County....... and when he learned that the general was preparing to attack Hebei, Sun Ce specially sent the last general back to help in the war! ā€

"You don't know!" He added fuel and vinegar and said: "The last general has been traveling day and night all the way, and even the horses are almost exhausted...... I thought you were fighting Yuan Shao on the front line of Hejian and Anping, but you pounced and ran all the way to catch up with you! ā€

"Good! This Jiangdong little overlord is really good! Nan Ying was full of relief in his heart, because in his heart, Sun Ce was like a son.

"What are the casualties of our troops?" While he was happy, he still asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time. Because, since Sun Ce went to war, although there have been occasional reports, he has never mentioned the number of battle losses.

"Good to teach the general to know!" Ma Jun smiled and said: "Our army's 10,000 soldiers went to war, all the way like a bamboo, not only the battle damage was negligible, but also along the way the righteous soldiers heard the name of Yingyang Zhonglang General, one after another came to ....... so far, the total strength of our army has increased instead of decreasing, and has reached 13,000 people!" ā€

"Well done!" Nanying completely let go of his worries, and the expedition to Jiangdong was originally nine out of ten, but now it has a good start, and it will not make waves in the future. It seems that Sun Ce will still occupy the south smoothly, as recorded in history.

"In that case, there's no need to go back!" Nanying was in a good mood, and he smiled: "Just participate in this battle with Ben General!" When Sun Ce further gained a foothold, Ben General would summon Xu Huang and Guan Hai back one after another....... knowing this, why did Ben General transfer Li Shaojie to lead the naval army to help in the war? Ha ha! ā€

However, Nanying's good mood soon came to an end, as he ushered in an angry trial......

"My lord! Although it is said that the trick will win, but you are too difficult to be a person this time! "The trial is still the stinky temper that was straight to the point, and as soon as he met, he split his head and covered his face: "On that day, you urgently ordered the subordinate to transfer the grain and grass from Qingzhou to collect Yuan Shao's grain, and the subordinate has just completed the deployment of the front foot, and you followed and passed the word that you were going to fight in Youzhou, and the army has advanced towards Zhuoxian......."

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first!" He was almost dancing with his hands to vent his excitement: "What now? What to do? ā€

"Alas! Well....... "Nan Ying stroked his forehead with his hand, and avoided the interrogator's gaze with a little weakness: "People are not as good as heaven, and this general is also improvised...... Logistics matters, please also ask the military division to bother! ā€

"Me? Can I afford it? It's you, right? The murderous gaze of the judge fell on Xun You, who was even more weak-hearted on the side, and seemed to be about to pounce at any time: "Of course it's good to give advice to the lord, but are you so irresponsible?" Once the army starts a war in Youzhou, how to solve the problem of eating and drinking for nearly 20,000 soldiers? You, you....... if you don't come up with a charter today, I will never give up with you! ā€

Seeing that the trial was about to pounce with teeth and claws, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the tent: "The Great Qin merchant brought!" ā€

In the tent, except for someone who stopped in a daze, and You Zizi was angry and panting, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Pulcher after a long absence. Emily. Li Wei entered the account with a smile, and saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency, Honorable Eagle Yang Zhonglang, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still the same demeanor!" ā€

"Mr. Levi!" Nan Ying stared at him coldly: "My Han is thousands of miles away from your country?" However, you are born with a pair of fast legs, and you can go back and forth! ā€

"Your Excellency, General, you have misunderstood!" Pulcher. Emily. Li Wei blinked, rubbed his hands again and again, and said: "In fact, the contemptible people have not left the Han ....... in recent years."

"Bang!" Southern Eagle slammed the case, scaring Pulcher. Emily. Li Wei was shocked and retracted: "Since you have been in my Han, how dare you trade with him when you know the hostile relationship between Ben and Gongsun Zhan?" ā€

"Your Excellency the General's anger!" Pulcher. Emily. Li Wei finally stammered in fluent Chinese: "Although the contemptible people traded with General Gongsun, they never sold ordnance and other materials!" ā€

"Your ordnance, can Gongsun Chan look at it?" Nanying's sharp gaze fell on Pulcher like a cold light. Emily. Levi: "So, what about the military horse?" Since Aquix and you are partners, do you dare to guarantee that his military horse was not sold to Gongsun Zhan? ā€

"This ......." Pulcher. Emily. Li Wei snorted: "Contemptible people are not very clear! ā€

"What a bold man!" Nanying said murderously: "The general has always taken care of you, and even opened up the Northwest Trade Road for you!" You don't think about reciprocating, but you use your army and horses to fund the enemy......."

"Drag it out!" He simply gave the order: "Cut it!" ā€

"The general spares his life!" Pulcher in the wind of Yushu. Emily. Levi instantly shortened by half a cut.

"Wait!" At the mouth of the tent, a pleasant voice rang out, falling on Pulcher. Emily. In Levi's ears, it was even more like heaven, he turned his head, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Several generals' wives are here too!" He cried out, "Hurry up and save your lowly servant!" ā€

"What general's wife?" Ma Yunluo and Zhang Mengyi had their cheeks at the same time, and Zhang Mengyi was even more angry: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you directly!" ā€

"Yes! Be! Be! The villain doesn't dare! "Pulcher. Emily. Li Wei stayed in the Bohai Sea for a few months, how did he not know the power of several female generals? He nodded straight as a chicken eating rice: "The two generals are not ladies, they are goddesses, like Aphrodite ......."

"Get out! Shut up Ben! Nanying's face instantly turned dark. Aphrodite? Isn't that just a slut?

"Having such a big fire? I'm not afraid of losing my demeanor! Mr. Levi is a friend after all! Ma Yunluo's soft voice came, which immediately lowered Nanying's anger by three points...... The goddess doesn't have to, the fairy is very appropriate, provided that she has not transformed into a female god of war......

"Humph! General Arima and General Zhang intercede for you, what a big face! Nanying sneered: "Ben will be a straightforward person, if you are still a friend, please prove it to Ben Jiang!" ā€

"Friends, of course!" Pulcher. Emily. Li Wei pointed to the sky and shouted: "The contemptible person did not know the relationship between the general and that Gongsun Zan before, but now that he knows, of course it is impossible to have any dealings with him......

His eyes turned sharply and said: "The contemptible people are willing to give all the goods of this trip to the general to show the righteousness of friends, and at the same time, for the sake of ...... Hey? How did you say it in Chinese? That's right! For the general to recruit Gongsun Zhan, a strong line! ā€

"You don't have a face, you still have to save face! Isn't this a trick? Listening to his unsatisfactory words, Nanying couldn't help crying and laughing.

"Ben won't need your gifts, just trade fairly with you!" Nan Ying gestured to his subordinates: "And real money, never on credit!" ā€

The guards carried it into an iron box, and the lid of the box opened with a golden light, stabbing the eyes of everyone in the tent...... This is the first batch of Wang Mang's Tibetan gold to arrive, and the rest is being shipped in a steady stream.

"The gods are above...... even with Pulcher. Emily. Li Wei was well-informed, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he breathed heavily: "The general has so much gold? ā€

"What is this?" Nanying smiled disdainfully: "For Ben General...... By the way, you know what it means to be a dime, right? ā€

Seeing him nodding desperately, he couldn't help but smile: "As long as you provide enough goods, the gold here, or even ten times and a hundred times the gold, is all yours!" ā€

Pulcher. Emily. Levi finally changed color, revealing a look of horror that he had not even revealed when he was dying...... With his shrewd mind, of course, he could quickly calculate what the so-called hundredfold concept was! That's a fortune that could buy a kingdom!

"What does the general need to buy?" He suddenly felt his mouth dry because he had realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for businessmen.

"Ben will buy everything!" Nan Ying said calmly: "War horses, livestock, ordnance, metal, seeds, cloth, grain...... Even the army and mercenaries, as long as you can transport them, they will pay according to the price, and they will never bargain! ā€

"The general is indeed a straightforward man, and you will be a friend of our Levi family forever...... No! He is an eternal benefactor! "Pulcher. Emily. Levi turned around and left: "All the goods for this trip have been given to the general, and the contemptible people will go and raise other items!" ā€

"What's the panic?" Nanying couldn't help but smile dumbly: "The temperament is more anxious than the general!" ā€

He pointed to the mouthful of boxes on the ground: "Take it!" It's a deposit! Ben will also send a team of cavalry to escort you! ā€

Seeing the Romans depart with cheers, Nanying smiled slightly...... Gold? Can that be eaten as a meal? In the troubled times, having soldiers and food is the king, and with the fierceness of the war, all kinds of materials in the Han Dynasty have become more and more rare. If he could exchange all the gold for the necessary supplies, he wouldn't even mind going back to the Imperial Tomb. It's just a pity! From Rome to the Han Dynasty, it will take a year or two to come and go, and it is difficult to quench your thirst from far away!

Suddenly, he raised his eyes and saw the demented eyes of everyone in the tent, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong?" ā€

"General! You just raised your hand and gave the gold away? Ma Jun's heart hurt: "At least seventy or eighty thousand gold...... What should I do if I break my word? ā€

"What do you know? Would a real businessman give up the next seven or eight hundred thousand gold for the sake of seventy or eighty thousand gold? Ben will guarantee that whoever dares to persuade him like this will definitely fight with that man! Nan Ying knocked a few times casually: "Back to the previous topic...... How to solve the logistics of attacking Youzhou? ā€

"Sima Zhi is escorting a batch of grain and grass to the starry night, but most of them are fodder for military horses!" The judge was stunned, came back to his senses, and roared again: "The soldiers' military rations have not yet been settled!" Let's see! ā€

"Even with the carrying capacity of our army's chariots, the army only has five days' food!" Zhang Mengyi also said coquettishly: "And now that we have entered Youzhou, it is impossible to wait for the rear to transport, nor can we find a place to supply on the spot...... Go and rob the people! ā€

As she spoke, she sat down angrily.

Xun You almost retracted his neck into his chest, in his previous military plan, there was indeed a purchase of grain from the local people on the spot, but because of Gongsun Zhan's expropriation in Youzhou, the people themselves were about to survive, how could there be surplus grain to sell? The failure to grasp the actual situation in the enemy-occupied areas in advance has to be said to be a major mistake on his part.

"Don't point fingers at Sang and scold Huai!" Nan Ying first glared at Xun You, and then said calmly: "Since the general has agreed to Gongda's strategy, then all the responsibilities must be borne by the general!" ā€

"And what about you people? On weekdays, I do something that follows the rules, but I don't rush it. However, once there is a sudden change, they are all messed up! His voice gradually became louder: "Is it necessary to greet you in advance if there is an emergency in the future?" Fighting a war is inherently ever-changing! Think of a way! ā€

"General, if there is really no way to ......" Among the generals, Pei Yuanshao opened his mouth with some hesitation: "Attack Zhuoxian!" Now it is the end of autumn, and the grain harvest has just been completed in various places, and there must be a large amount of grain and grass stored in the county! ā€

He slowly stood up: "The strategy that Mr. Xun agreed on before is to drive straight into the road and directly find the main force of Gongsun Zan near Jixian County for a decisive battle...... The last general implored the general to continue to go deeper, and the last general led 2,000 soldiers and horses to break through Zhuo County, and then escorted the grain and grass to join the main force! ā€

"No!" In the tent, several eagle generals cried together.

"In a hurry, how can two thousand people attack Zhuo County?"

"Yes, our army is a long-distance attack this time, and there are no siege equipment accompanying it, which is too risky!"

"That's it! What if the news leaks and Gongsun Chan is prepared? ā€

"Again?" Ma Jun thought for a while and said, "The last general will take people to hunt!" Somewhat alleviating some! ā€

"Cut!" Gan Ning was the first to sneer: "There are no large mountains nearby, even if you hunt thousands of catties of wild animals, what will you do?" ā€

Ma Jun sat back in disbelief.

"Enough!" Nan Ying couldn't help but shoot the case again: "At least Yuan Shao and Ma Jun have thought of a way, you are talking about it here, but you are at a loss, is this a worry for the general, or is it a blockage?" ā€

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Suddenly, a timid female voice said, "There may be a way to ......"
